Hello, Donnie Darko...
When I first heard this story on my way into work, "Final Destination" was precisely the first thing that came to mind.
Airplanes are dangerous ... we should think about alternatives ... ;-)
We must withdraw from Airplanes immediatley, they are a quagmire!
I agree. We should be thinking of lighter than air aircraft....like the Hindenberg.
Cue Twilight Zone theme....
That man's number was due.
The Crow.
Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Who ever thought "Final Destination" was anything BUT a documentary?
Ick, I didn't like those movies.
You're not supposed to change the headlines.
Are you kidding. Aviation is the only form of transportation with a perfect record. He haven't left one up there yet.

I was scheduled on an ill-fated flight in 1975, but a letter from my folks saying they wouldn't be home, kept me from making the trip.
It was 1954 Cessna 195 that went in hard in Pacific Beach, OR, in very bad weather.

"Oh, the inanity!"
Or Knute Rockne's. Or Will Rogers'.
I am reminded of the Onion headline:
